Mike Van Wyck Smacks Around Jeff Nippard -

[Van_Bilderass]

I didn't like his personality so avoided his videos only watched a couple of shorts. From what I saw it seems to me he wants to carve out a niche as the body/muscle mechanics expert. So it's in his interest to make it more difficult than it really is, to sell his training services, youtube or whatever... Position your body this way, pull in this direction do this do that with your positioning. Kind of pretentious it seemed to me but maybe he knew something idk either.

I agree with everything you said and I think he actually probably does not understand anatomy or muscle function compared to a schooled guy. These guys are obsessed with tiny nuances in the literature and the validity or certain research so I imagine some have corrected him on social media. But then he uses the classic "but you are small so you really don't know shit " Maybe this feud was over something like that.

[Van_Bilderass]

I tried, it was like watching a shitty version of Charles Glass. Needlessly complicated, with none of the charm. You can teach that way, but you have to have the personality for it. He doesn't. He can't sell it.

On the form question, I always liked Jim Schmitz answer / thought on it. He was asked coaching about Mario Martinez, one of the last great SHW lifters we fielded, and why his form was so odd, and not corrected. And he said something like, you try to teach them the correct form, etc.... but after a certain point, if the lifter ins't getting hurt, and the performances keep getting better, then you just let them go with what they like.

And I think most lifters aren't coachable anyway in this, even if shown a better way they will revert to old patterns. I think it's like posing, it's very hard to teach it to someone, some just look better doing it without even analyzing everything. I think form or programming in bodybuilding is highly tied to personality. Some naturally go hard, can't be made to make it less intense and some just can't be made to train to physical capacity, or it just looks like that to an outsider. They say they always go to failure but it just doesn't look like it. Some might be argued to be faking intensity in a way, like grimacing theatrically, and some surely go to capacity but it just looks easy. You see this in powerlifting, some look like they have more in them but maybe they actually don't.

Joey Staxx turned out to be a pant load too, bullying teenagers, and front desk people. All these tough guys turn into bullies for clout -

Cool video - crazy how many instagram thugs are around...

Fake natty likely deserved it.

VAN WICK,FOUAD AND JOEY STAXX ARE ALL PUSSIES.

VAN WICK 43 looks 53 easy.

I would have believed 63 no questions asked

Imagine the 120 lbs twerps buying these temu hoodies

Watson is also a bitch.

Now THAT guy needs a firm beating.

[Gym Rat]

Mike's videos are horrendous "this is how you do a cable curl properly" as he's filming in a gym,
while complaining of others who film in gyms. I guess only he can do that?

The clown he pushed seems to have lied in the story about how it happened (Bronny Javo has a new video out from the gyms CCTV).

He called Mike over to him (rather than Mike going to him). Whatever, the whole thing's ghey.
Arguing over exercise beliefs, then going hands on.  2 clowns, same rodeo...

Yeah, this is an at best a "when assholes collide" moment. They were looking to press him. Mike wouldn't have touched him without that second Nippard instigated interaction. 

[Sandrock]

They may pull a "Mike Brady" and throw the briefcase to show he can move his neck when it scares him...

Well then Jeff needs a lightning fast, ultra athletic lawyer who can catch that briefcase before it even comes near him:

I've asked before, but again, does someone here see value in what Mike says in his videos? I haven't watched a lot of him so my perception of idiocy may be colored by my personal distaste. It's just the smug look while saying no one else understands the mechanics of movements and are stupid. And also I think you can do movements a little bit "wrong," may be subjective but ok, but you'll still get the major benefits from a lat machine or whatever. You know the lat pulldown where you face an incline bench that everyone was doing a while back? I don't think peoole really built much extra mass doing it. Sure obviously most everyone who is a lifting aficionade wants to perfect his lifts and has his idiosyncracies based on personal anatomy honed over time, but overall these little things aren't really THAT important and wont be the difference between gains and no gains. Another one that pops into mind now, whether to shrug your shoulders in a delt lateral, whether involving traps is good or bad. Just my humble opinion 

I thought his knowledge of pro bodybuilding was on point.  Listen to the 10:00 to 15:00 minute mark of this video.  He talks about the 90's and Phil Heath also brings up Sarah V. and  Shaun Clarida.

Also, he's made some comments about forums that leads me to believe he's posted on Getbig.

Listening to his tips also helped me to bring up my back, but I haven't listened to him in a while.  He takes training WAY to seriously. 

[ChristopherA]

Dude shoved him. Right of wrong, you're a soft ass bitch for going to the cops over that. Going to the ER for scans over falling on your heinie?

Good thing that would never happen on Getbig.

I started thinking and came up with a ton of stuff I saw differently  or would have explained differently. Like his views that he likes "lots of muscle," which I think is more like his explanation for finding a physique "good" and aesthetic. Big Ramy could be said to be packed with muscle but his structure is just slightly too "big" as in skeletal structure, a lighter appearing frame with lots of muscle but not necessarily actually having more muscle than the other guy. It's like Markus Ruhl, he wasn't as "beautiful" as other guys. He had his fans but few would actually want to look like him. ..But doesn't mean he's wrong or I'm right, just a different perspective, it's subjective to a certain extent. But yeah, I just don't follow a lot of his reasoning exactly. Others obviously do because he has a big following.

One guy I mentally disagree with on almost everything he says is Nick Trigili and he has some kind of following too.

He really is hard to watch, horrible cringe-tard...

He seems to really care about his hair, his tan, slapping on makeup and putting all this effort into the production of his videos about……..men’s bodybuilding gossip. He also idolizes John Travolta and doesn’t think he’s gay. Strange guy.

Had to mute the video, can't stand bravo's voice. I believe the manlet was asking for it.

The fake gravitas does it for me... guy talks about these retarts like he is McArthur fellow analysing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

And then I learned that there was... CC... TV... footage... from the gym...

From his parents basement mind you.. I know thats a joke among many to say about trolls, etc, but in his case, its true.

I bet someone did with his “9 incher”  and Johny liked it .

C'mon, seriously?

[SweetDaddySiki]

Gym owners should ban filming in their gyms and none of this would happen. Plus, it'd hurt "influencers" and their businesses so I'm all for that! It's either stupid roid head's filming content or skanks filming Instagram stuff or skanks filming/commenting on people watching them film and pretend that they're being gazed in a sexual way. Just cut all of this out.
